Virtual Power Meter, Optical Power and Energy, USB

The 844-PE-USB Virtual Power Meter with a USB connection uses a computer as the instrument's monitor, allowing the user to access the full computational power of the computer. When equipment space is tight or you need to control multiple power meter channels, 844-PE-USB is an ideal solution. In addition to USB output, it also has a configurable analog aoutput that reach from 0-10 V for full scale represntation. Installation of the application is simple and includes the USB driver installation. PMManager™ is a powerful application software that controls the power meter and takes measurement data.
The 844-PE-USB includes a calibration certificate, a USB cable, a 2.5 mm analog output connector and a PMManager quick installation guide.
Ideal for Industrial Automation and Production
The 844-PE-RS is a Power Meter that allows connectivity of smart power sensors to a PC or automation systems using USB communication When the equipment space is tight or you need to control multiple power meter channels, the small size and simple interface of the 844-PE-USB is an ideal solution for system integration and automation. In addition to USB output, it also has a configurable analog output which can work in two modes raw and digital. It can reach output voltage of 0-10 Vmax.
The 844-PE-RS, can be integrated into 3rd party systems using a dedicated command set, COM-objects or used with Newport PMMmanger. PMManager™ is a powerful, easy to install, PC application software that controls the power meter and takes measurement data. The 844-PE-USB includes a calibration certificate, a USB cable, a 2.5 mm analog output connector and a PMManager quick installation guide.
PMManager™ Application Software
PMManager™ is a powerful application software controlling and taking measurement data. It turns a PC into a laser power multi-channel analysis workstation. The PMManager software features include: extensive graphic display of data, advanced measurement processing, data logging for future review, printing of graphs and data, and the ability to connect additional devices during active measurements. The PMManager software package includes the latest PMManager user manual, the COM object manual, the available user command lists, and automation examples written in various programming languages. Please see below or the PMManager Tutorial for more details regarding its capabilities.
